Step-by-step explanation:
Let X be the initial amount for the plot of land. If the sale decreased his total acreage by 12%, the decrement will be expressed as 12% of the initial amount of land as shown;
12% of X
= 0.12x
The new acreage will be the difference between the initial amount of land and the decrement.
New acreage = Initial amount - decrement
New acreage = X-0.12X
New acreage = 0.88X
